Move the text anywhere you want it to be on the slide

Add any clipart or actual pictures you want to the slide
Click on the rectangle square located on the toolbar on the right and draw a rectangular box that is the size of the slide.
Right click on that box and click on format autoshape.
Click on the down arrow by the line at the top that says color that is below the section called Color. Select a color, or more colors, or fill effects.
Right click on the box again and click on order and click on send to back.
